The correct answer is C. through.

The other options are not correct because they do not make sense in the context of the sentence.

  • Since means “from a particular point in time up to the present.” For example, “I have been working here since 2010.”
  • During means “at some time within a particular period of time.” For example, “I was born during the war.”
  • Beyond means “on the far side of.” For example, “The mountains lie beyond the forest.”
